"I would like to appeal to all Alabaster citizens to check on their neighbors and to report those who may need assistance," Mayor David Frings said in a statement on the city's website. "We will have members of the police and fire departments deployed throughout the City and will check on residents as requested."

City parks will have "misting zones" at Veterans Park, near pavilion 7 and the playground, and Buck Creek and Abby Wooley parks will have cooling fans located near their gazebo/track areas.

Also, the Alabaster Senior Center will be open this Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for those who may need a cool place to go.
